U.S. rents drop for 37 consecutive months

Charlie Bilello, chief market strategist at Creative Planning, LLC, reports that U.S. rents have declined by 1.2% over the last year, marking the 37th consecutive month of year-over-year decreases.

He adds that renting a home is now cheaper than paying a mortgage in all 50 of the largest U.S. metro areas.

Earlier this year, Bilello reported that emerging, value, and small- to mid-cap stocks outperformed large U.S. equities in 2026 year-to-date returns. He has also tracked sector-specific activity, noting that U.S. sports betting wagers climbed to $165 billion in 2025. These updates reflect a focus on key market and consumer trends.
